And when he partakes of the Wine he shall say,

WE drink this wine as an emblem and

memorial of that blood which was shed

for many for the remission of sins.

As he gives it to the people, he shall say,

Take and drink this, dwelling on the love of him who while we were yet sinners died. for us.

Then shall the Minister and people repeat the Lord's

Ο

Prayer.

UR Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; But deliver us from evil : For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, For ever and ever. Amen.

Or, if this have been used before in the Service, the
Minister shall say,

Hear the words in which our Lord and Saviour prayed for those who partook of the supper with him, and for all who should in faith follow their example. St. John xvii. 24 to the end.

NATHER, I will that they also, whom thou

FAT

hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory; which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee; but I have

known thee, and these have known that thou didst send me. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it; that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

After shall be said as followeth.

LORD and heavenly Father, we thy humble servants earnestly desire thy fatherly goodness mercifully to accept this our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving; most humbly beseeching thee to grant, that by faith in thy Son Jesus Christ we and all thy whole Church may obtain remission of our sins, and all other benefits of his life and sufferings, and his glorious triumph over death. And here we offer and present unto thee, O Lord, ourselves, our souls and bodies, to be a reasonable, holy, and lively sacrifice unto thee; humbly beseeching thee, that all we, who are partakers of this holy Communion, may be filled with thy grace and heavenly benediction. And although we be unworthy, through our manifold sins, to offer unto thee any sacrifice, yet we beseech thee to accept this our bounden duty and service; not weighing our merits, but pardoning our offences, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Or this.

LMIGHTY and everliving God, we most heartily thank thee, for that thou dost vouchsafe to feed us, who have duly received these holy emblems with the spiritual food of

the most precious Body and Blood of thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ; and dost assure us thereby of thy favour and goodness towards us; and that we are very members in the body of thy Son, which is his Church, the blessed company of all faithful people; and are also heirs through hope of thy everlasting kingdom. And we most humbly beseech thee, O heavenly Father, so to assist us with thy grace, that we may continue in that holy fellowship, and do all such good works as thou hast commanded with willing minds; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who in the Unity of the Spirit is one with thee his God and our God, world without end. Amen.

G

Then shall be said or sung,

LORY be to God on high, and in earth peace, goodwill towards men. We praise thee, we bless thee, we worship thee, we glorify thee, we give thanks to thee for thy great glory, O Lord God, heavenly King, God the Father Almighty.

¶ Then the Minister shall let them depart with this Blessing.

THE peace of God, which passeth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds, through Christ Jesus (Phil. iv. 7), and the blessing of God Almighty be amongst you and remain with you always. Amen.

¶ The six Collects, usually added here, are removed to the "PRAYERS AND THANKSGIVINGS," and are numbered from VIII to XIII.

THE MINISTRATION OF

PUBLICK BAPTISM OF INFANTS.

TO BE USED IN THE CHURCH.

¶ When there are Children to be baptized, the Parents shall give knowledge thereof over night, or in the morning before the beginning of Morning Prayer, to the Minister; and then the Parents, or if the Parents be ill or dead, the Guardians or friends of the Children, after the last Lesson of Morning or Evening Prayer, or at such time as the Minister shall appoint shall bring the Child: and then standing at the font or basin filled with water, the Minister shall say,

DE

EARLY beloved, forasmuch as the Christian Church has in all ages administered the rite of baptism to infants, the children of the household of faith; and as our Lord saith, "Except a man be born of Water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God;" in adopting that ancient and impressive ordinance, and acknowledging this sacred union of the emblem with the spiritual purification necessary to the Christian life, I beseech you to call upon God the Father, through our Lord Jesus Christ, that of his bounteous mercy he will grant to this Child that, which otherwise he cannot have; that he may be now baptized with water, and that hereafter he may be baptized with the Spirit, and received into Christ's holy Church, and be made a member of the same.

A

Then shall the Minister say,

Let us pray.

LMIGHTY and everlasting God, We beseech thee, for thine infinite mercies, that thou wilt look upon this Child, preserve his life, and as his faculties expand, and he becomes able to discern between good and evil, grant unto him the assistance of thy holy Spirit, that he may, by this same Spirit, be called into the fellowship of thy Son Jesus Christ; and being stedfast in faith, joyful in hope, and rooted in charity, may so pass through

the waves of this troublesome world, that finally he may come to the land of everlasting life, there to reign with thee, world without end; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

A

LMIGHTY and immortal God, the aid of all that need, the helper of all that flee to thee for succour, the life of them that believe, and the God who raiseth the dead; We call upon thee for this Infant that as he is now incapable of actual sin, he may grow up under the care of his parents or friends, and under the influence of a good example of holy and true living to be obedient and affectionate, to dread and hate sin, and to love thee, and thy dear Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Save him from the corruptions of the world; and may he after this life come to the eternal kingdom which thou hast promised by Christ our Lord. Amen.

Then shall the people stand up, and the Minister shall say,

Hear the words of the Gospel, by ST. MARK X. 13.

TH

HEY brought young children to Christ, that he should touch them; and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.

After the Gospel is read, the Minister shall make this brief Exhortation upon the words of the Gospel.

Saviour Christ, that he commanded the children to be brought unto him; how he blamed those that would have kept them from him; how he exhorteth all men to follow their innocency. Ye perceive how by his outward gesture and deed he declared his good will toward them; for he embraced them in his arms, he laid his hands them, and blessed them. Doubt ye not therefore, but
